CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters – 1/21/21 – How LA County Launched Managed Intake – CASCAR – UC Davis KSMP

Virtual

KSMP Presents: LA County had already begun discussing a strategic rollout of Managed Intake, but Covid came along and forced so many of our hands. Last spring, seemingly overnight, Managed Intake was launched countywide at all seven Animal Care Centers in LA County. While there wasn't time for the communication or implementation runway they had hoped for, the team had already done their research, knew a streamlined process served more animals and people, and they were committed to their decision. Come hear about how they did it—the challenges, surprises, and the celebrations—and how they are going all-in on a larger plan for Managed Sheltering.

Webinar – 1/21/21 – Preserving the Bond: the Veterinarian’s Role in Pre-Empting Animal Cruelty – NACA/Justice Clearinghouse

Virtual

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Present: When a low-income client presents a severely neglected animal to a veterinarian for treatment, the doctor faces a difficult conundrum: is it their duty to protect the animal from continued neglect, or is it their duty to help the person who may be struggling financially to care for their animal? In states where veterinary reporting of animal cruelty is mandatory, the stress this ethical dilemma can put on a veterinarian is significant. Throughout this webinar, the presenters will discuss the veterinarian’s role in both preserving the human-animal bond and addressing animal cruelty resulting from poverty.
